Mojave National Preserve is home to many spring systems with Soda Springs at Zzyzx being one of the largest. This natural oasis was first used by the indigenous people of the area. In 1944 it was operated by Curtus Springer as a health spa and consisted of a two-story castle, a dining hall, library, lecture room, pool house, and goat farm. The resort was closed in 1970's. Today Lake Tuendae is open to the public and thanks to its pools of water, it is one of the best birding locations around. The old resort is now home to the California State University Center for Desert Studies which is not open to the public. Please be respectful and keep to the marked trail.
Zzyzx is also home to the endangered Mohave tui chub fish. A small population of genetically pure Mohave tui chubs have persisted in isolated ponds at Soda Springs.

We’re excited to share this update with our social media community: San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance has applied for a CITES conservation permit to care for giant pandas. For nearly 30 years, we’ve had the honor of working alongside our Chinese conservation partners to save, protect, and care for giant pandas. Through these efforts, we developed critical discoveries that play a meaningful role in bringing this beloved species back from the brink of extinction.

Our collaboration resulted in critical scientific findings on panda reproductive behavior and physiology, nutritional and care requirements, ecosystem needs, and genetics. While giant pandas are recovering, factors like climate change, changing land use practices, and population isolation still threaten their wild populations.

Through the next generation of giant pandas, we hope to further expand our conservation partnership to improve panda populations—especially those in isolated areas where they’re vulnerable to extinction and loss of genetic diversity. Conservation is at the heart of everything we do, and we hope to be able to share the wonder of giant pandas with you again soon.
